Chapter 64: Shen Zhao: The trouble is actually me
Unlike a real portrait, this mirror is much larger, almost spanning the entire corridor. If it weren't for the platform, people would believe that what they saw was a wall of mirrors.
Jiang and Xie were just about to move closer to observe the mirror when suddenly, there seemed to be some movement under the table. A man wearing a ghost mask lifted the wooden board on the table and emerged from inside.
Before he could come out completely, Jiang Yunyao reflexively pressed down the wooden board to prevent him from going any further.
The staff tried to lift the wooden board with force, but it did not move at all, as if it was nailed there.
Jiang Yunyao was about to let go when she heard the other party's confused tone and whispered, "Stuck?"
The staff member's vision was blocked by the mask on his face, and he had no idea that the person in front of him was the culprit. He simply took off the mask and decided to find out what was going on.
The next second, his eyes met Jiang Xie's.
The woman was dressed in chef's clothes, holding a small globe lamp in one hand and the other hand on the board above his head.
The man was dressed as a female ghost. He was pulling his hair in front of his eyes with one hand. One eye was exposed, staring at him intently.
Staff: “?!”
Jiang Yunyao let go of her hand as if nothing had happened, and raised her hand to greet him, "Hi~"
The staff member swallowed his saliva and retreated back into the platform as quickly as he could. However, he moved so quickly that the mask on his head hit the edge of the platform and fell off.
When he saw the two "wanted criminals", he had no time to care about anything else. He retreated and locked the door.
This man seemed to be a chatterbox. After he was sure that Jiang Xie and the others could not open the door, he started to tell them everything like pouring beans.
"I heard from Lao Bai and Brother Gui that it was you who robbed them! This place is impenetrable, don't even think about getting any advantage from me! The passage here is also sealed, don't even think about getting in!"
"Don't even think about bribing me! I'm steadfast and unyielding! I'm loyal and unwavering! Your sincerity won't sway me! Even if it's money... well, if it's money, maybe I'd consider it!"
Jiang Yunyao picked up the mask, knocked on the wooden board above his head, and kindly reminded him, "Don't you want your mask anymore?"
The man choked, paused for a few seconds, and then said angrily, "I don't want it anymore! Anyway, don't try to trick me into opening the door!"
"I didn't mean to return it to you!" Jiang Yunyao quickly put the mask on her face. "I just wanted to tell you, thank you for the equipment!"
With this mask, who can tell the difference between her and an NPC?
The man seemed to be angry with her and did not speak for a long time.
Jiang Yunyao didn't wait for his response, nor did she care. Instead, she shook off her chef's clothes with a sophisticated look on her face.
“In life, you must be fully prepared, because you may need it in the next second!”
Master Jiang, I've got it!
[Announced, Jiang Yunyao has changed her path to become a philosopher! ]
[Oh my god! Stop her! The comedy world can't afford to lose a future star!]
[Jiang and Xie are truly terrifying! As soon as someone saw it was them, they immediately retreated without hesitation!]
[I have a friend who works in this store. According to her, the work group is looking for these two people! ]
[I'm dying of laughter. The person in front of me, is this friend of yours yourself?]
Congratulations to Jiang and Xie, who have become famous in the "Adventure Challenge Work Group"!
This road was blocked, so Jiang and Xie returned along the same route and went to the "Gate of Hell" instead.
This time when I opened the door, the layout behind it had changed. The road that turned left before disappeared, replaced by a wall, and a road appeared on the right.
Jiang and Xie had seen the door in the kitchen before, so they were no longer surprised by the appearance of this wall.
They walked along the corridor, and there were no forks in the road, so they didn't need to consider which way to go.
The two of them didn't know how long they had been walking when they suddenly heard the sound of violent running in front of them. The sound was getting closer and closer, and seemed to be accompanied by screams.
Jiang Yunyao and Xie Yixing looked at each other, tacitly adjusted their appearance, disguised themselves as NPCs here, and then moved forward quietly.
On the other side, Shen Zhao squatted on the ground in a very ungraceful manner, holding Ji Shuyao's calf, with his golden head buried in his arms, howling non-stop.
"Ah—there's a ghost—"
Ji Shuyao was so upset that she tried to pull her legs out, but unfortunately she was too weak to do it!
She was furious and pushed his shoulder, "Chen Zhao! Let me go! I don't want to be on a team with you! I want to change teammates!"
When Shen Zhao heard this, he hugged her tighter, "No! Aunt, I'm your nephew, you can't abandon me!"
Ji Shuyao became even angrier when she thought about how she was still as young as a flower and people were calling her as if she was over fifty.
"We are not related by blood, don't yell like that!"
Shen Zhao looked up, intending to act pitiful, but when his sight caught sight of a ghostly figure in front of him, his pupils shrank, his face showed fear, and he screamed again.
"ah--"
Ji Shuyao covered her ears with her hands, her expression painful. She yelled at him at the top of her voice, "Keep your voice down!"
Shen Zhao finally calmed down. He lowered his head, not daring to look up, and pointed ahead with a trembling hand, "Yes! There are ghosts! They are catching up!"
Ji Shuyao looked in the direction of his finger and saw a female ghost and a chef. They each had a lamp in their right hand, which looked like a ball of fire at first glance.
Her heart skipped a beat, but a few seconds later, she saw the camera and cameraman behind the two men and immediately relaxed.
Xie Yixing lifted his hair, moved closer to Shen Zhao, and patted him on the back, “A Zhao, don’t be afraid, look who we are!”
Shen Zhao raised his head again when he heard the familiar voice.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a strand of the wig on Xie Yixing's head fell down, and the slightly cool hair fell on the back of Shen Zhao's hand.
Shen Zhao buried his head and howled again.
The audience in Jiang Xie’s live broadcast room felt complicated when they saw Young Master Shen was so scared.
[Ah ...
[Compared to Xiao Xie, Chen Zhao is too timid! ]
[Hilarious! Young Master Shen before entering the haunted house: I'll help you solve the problem! Young Master Shen after entering the haunted house: Ghost!]
【Chen Zhao: The trouble is actually me! 】
[Am I the only one curious about the relationship between Shen Zhao and Miss Ji?]
[They are not related by blood, but probably know each other. It's just that Miss Ji is older!]
[Those who support Miss and Shen Zhao are in luck! The aunt-nephew relationship and the pseudo-bone science setting are simply too good to be true! ]
[Thanks for the invitation, my brain has automatically written a 10,000-word CP fanfic! ]
Two minutes later, Shen Zhao's frightened soul finally returned to his body. He pulled at Jiang Xie and the others' prop clothes and took a look, as if trying to find out why he was frightened.
